A solid mansion in an ecologically clean area, a recreation center in the forest or a seasonal dacha in a garden partnership - what unites this property? The need for autonomous communications. And if the issue with the supply of water or electricity is relatively easy to solve, then problems begin with the drainage in those places where a centralized system is not provided.
If you do not take into account the exotic options, you have to choose either between unhygienic cesspools, or between expensive dry closets to maintain. However, there is also a practical alternative - a septic tank.
You can study the catalog of septic tanks of different types and costs on the page dedicated to autonomous sewage systems for private houses:
The question of choosing a septic tank is quite specific, you need to take into account the initial budget, and the volume of sewage entering the septic tank, and the degree of purification, and the type of soil. Therefore, we recommend that you contact the consultants of the store already mentioned in this article for help.
Septic tank septic tank strife
The main task of any septic tank is to accumulate wastewater, to be a reservoir for what flows from the domestic sewage system.
Some septic tanks do not just accumulate, but purify or recycle, dispose of waste for more compact, and therefore economical storage.
The simplest option is a septic tank, which simply accumulates sewage. It is inexpensive, easy to install and maintain. He has only one drawback - the need for pumping, which is realized by fitting the well-known machine with a hose.
A more complex option is septic tanks with several chambers, with purification systems and biofilters, with aeration, and so on. Water is purified to a certain limit, and it cannot be used directly, even for technical purposes. Minus - requirements for the installation site, the cost of replacement components, in some cases - the need for electricity.
The most expensive option is complex systems of physical, chemical and biological treatment, capable of filtering and settling water to a "technical" state. It also cannot be used, but must be dumped into the ground, but the degree of purification in this case, the water will be up to 95-97%. Powered by electricity.
How to choose the parameters of a septic tank
Several parameters are taken into account at once. First, the volume, which is calculated for the number of people living in the house, the average daily water consumption, including the "reserve" for unforeseen events.
Depending on the budget at the stage of purchase and the estimated spending "at a distance", either an inexpensive single-chamber option is chosen, or multi-chamber septic tanks with additional treatment (soil, filters, biomaterials), or a station.
The type of soil is taken into account both when choosing equipment and during installation. Especially when it comes to systems with additional cleaning and drainage wells.
